[Quiet Man Cometh]

Given the price tag attached to the 1080, it's not something I'm trying for. The 1050 does seem to be the dominant figure in the laptops I was looking at, but after deciding its probably not up to what I want to do, I'm upping my price range a bit.

I'm assuming I'll want to stick with an Intel i7 processor? I know nothing about the other one (AMD?).

My step-bro is currently leery of MSI, which has apparently gone downhill right now, which is a titch annoying because they seem to be in the weight range that I want. But then, it looks like I might have the same problem that this one had. He's recommending an ASUS, as far as brand. Not sure how important the brand it, but it's convenient to be able to axe some options from the list.
